Oil and a lot of the commodities were up yesterday. Theyre easing a little bit today, as you can see. That will bring some relief. Check out the ten year. The tenyear has been, obviously, trading on things other than the situation in ukraine. But 2. 65, still well under control. The dollar has been interesting. The euro has stayed strong. Theyre calling this the biggest crisis in europe in the 21st century. The 21st century is like 14 years, right . It would not be the biggest crisis in the last two centuries, by my reckoning. I would agree with that. Some other stuff happened. And then gold was already rallying. Its
We will not go to conference until we get a clean cr. The government closes. What benefit do we have from that . We have in two weeks, we have the government is not only going on close down. Were going to lose the credit rating. Theyre talking now about not raising the debt ceiling. Madam president , i sort of feel sorry for Speaker Boehner. He has this hard right Tea Party Group that is adamant about shutting the government down. Many of them talked about shutting the government down in their 2010 campaigns. There are clips where they go to the audience. We will shut the government down if we win back the house. And the audience of tea Party Faithful cheers. And here we are. And now Speaker Boehner, who is not been strong enough, frankly, to stand up to the tea party, realizes he is in a real dilemma. He wants to shut the government down and the American People cone want that. Cnn came out with a poll today. What should we do . End obamacare or keep the government going . 60 , keep th
Look at the ovals. Of progressive folly. All in starts right now. Good evening from houston. Im chris hayes. Six months after beginning combat operations against isis, president obama formally requested war powers from Congress Today, sending a draft authorization for the use of military force, or aumf, to capitol hill for a vote. The president laid out its goal in an address this afternoon. This resolution reflects our core objective to destroy isil. It supports the comprehensive strategy that weve been pursuing with our allies and our partners. A systemic and sustained campaign of air strikes again isil in iraq and syria, support and training for local forces on the ground including the moderate Syrian Opposition preventing isil attacks in the region and beyond, including by foreign terrorist fighters who try to threaten our countries. Today we also got a first look at the actual language of this draft, Whose Authority would expire after three years unless reauthorized. It authorizes
Washington anchor for bbc world news america, katty kay, and cofounder and ceo of axios, jim vandehei with us. Were going to begin with the testimony from the former director of the Central Intelligence agency john brennan. Speaking yesterday before the house intelligence committee, he said under his watch investigators have uncovered troubling information about contacts between russian officials and americans in the Trump Campaign. By the time i left office on january 20th, i had unresolved questions in my mind as to whether or not the russians had been successful in getting u. S. Persons involved in the campaign or not to work in their behalf, again, either in a witting or unwitting nafashion. Did evidence exist of collusion, coordination, conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and russian state actors at the time you learned of 2016 efforts .

Something get done by august so they feel like they have a little time. I dont know the administration was all that set on having a vote this week. But i think members are kind of waiting to see what they hear from this president. I think they anticipate that this is an executive who above all really wants a deal to get done.

I think the likeliest thing is that the president will hear people out. He met earlier with rand paul at the white house, had an individual one on one meeting with him, i think this is a president who is open to picking up the phone to doing the one on ones to the Group Meetings to hearing people out and trying to sort of d
